Was it a massive flop? It was released in the tail end of Covid just as cinemas reopened. It might not have made blockbuster numbers but I bet it has legs when streaming and rentals are taken into account. The strictly performance last night was a good advert for it (ropey vocals aside). It certainly captured the energy of the piece. It is generally considered to be a box office bomb, yes, despite positive reviews, unfortunately.

She needs that Oscar and this could be her only chance. Make the damn film already!

“Believe it or not”, I’m going with not, sorry Glenn! She’s been saying this since 2017 poor love.

It’s almost sad watching her talk about the film now.

The woman is becoming as delusional as Norma D herself. How awfully fitting. Does she think she can convincingly play a woman in her 50's or will be a script rewrite be necessary to facilate her casting?

No.
This movie needs to be made.
I’m a huge Sunset fan. My bedroom has Norma’s stained glass windows Which I bought after the Broadway production closed

If they believed they could convincingly age Ben Platt down for Dear Evan Hansen, I think they’ll attempt it with Glenn Close! Of course no one will ever top Stockard Channing in Grease when it comes to unconvincing age casting…

I don’t see Glenn’s age as being a problem for this role, not sure why everyone’s fixated on it. It’s not the same as Ben Platt trying to pass for a high school kid.

I didn’t really make it clear in my previous post, but my point was that age hasn’t prevented casting in roles where it WAS an issue, so shouldn’t be here. If it needs addressing, there’s no real reason Norma can’t be older, and Close looks brilliant anyway. Plus - arguably - people generally aged differently and looked older at a younger age in the forties compared to modern standards.
